HOW WE WORK
Cultivating Trust Through Curated Events
At the core of Board Harbor Foundation’s approach is building authentic, trust-based relationships between diverse, board-ready candidates and experienced corporate leaders who influence board appointments.
We curate invitation-only events like our Dinners with Directors and Annual Governance Retreat to foster meaningful connections that extend beyond traditional networking.
These exclusive gatherings are designed to create shared, transformative experiences, where leaders and diverse candidates can establish long-term, collaborative relationships grounded in trust.
This personal approach allows corporate leaders to discover exceptional talent in an intimate, impactful setting.
HOW WE WORK
Empirical research to drive diversity
We are committed to advancing board diversity through empirical research that showcases the positive impact of diverse boards on organizational performance.
We lead research initiatives that provide data-driven insights into how diverse perspectives in governance lead to better decision-making, innovation, and overall success. Our findings are shared with corporate leaders and stakeholders to demonstrate the strategic advantages of a diverse boardroom, drive informed decisions, and advocate for systemic change in corporate governance.
Strategic guidance for boardroom diversity
In addition to fostering connections, we offer strategic guidance to corporate leaders to support their efforts in building diverse and inclusive boards.
We help organizations identify board composition gaps, develop actionable diversity plans, and implement best practices for fostering inclusive governance environments.
Our approach goes beyond recruitment, focusing on creating boardrooms where diverse perspectives are valued and integrated into decision-making processes, ensuring long-term success through a commitment to inclusive
leadership.
